Publication number: 20240359034Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for combining and/or delivering an injectable material to a patient. The injectable material may be formed of two or more reactive components delivered in separate chambers. Various features are provided to reduce human error in combining the reactive components in the appropriate sequence to form the injectable material, generally at (e.g., immediately prior to) the time of delivery to a patient. The system includes a sleeve lock which facilitates coupling of a device having a first chamber containing a first component with a vial having a second chamber containing a second component to combine the first and second components. The combined first and second components are contained within the first chamber for delivery to a patient via an injection system, which may be fluidly coupled with the first chamber with the assistance of the sleeve lock.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicants: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC., BOSTON SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL DEVICE LIMITEDInventors: Nitesh Ghananil Baviskar, Benjamin Cleveland, Sanjay Kumar Chandra, Katie Knowles, Rajivkumar Singh, Marshall O'Hearn

Publication number: 20240358593Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for combining and/or delivering an injectable material to a patient. A vial adaptor is configured to fluidly couple at least a first chamber and a separate chamber and to facilitate fluid exchange therebetween as well as to vent the separate chamber as material is withdrawn therefrom. The first chamber may be defined in a multi-chamber device which further defines a second chamber. The vial adaptor further defines a purge reservoir into which excess material and/or air may be purged from the second chamber. For instance, as material is ejected from the first chamber into the separate chamber, a determined amount of material may be purged from the second chamber into the purge reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicants: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC., BOSTON SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL DEVICE LIMITEDInventors: Nitesh Ghananil Baviskar, Benjamin Cleveland, Sanjay Kumar Chandra, Katie Knowles, Junaid Mohammed Shaikh
